Tooth Bonding Procedure

You have a minor cosmetic dental flaw or damaged tooth, and now you know that tooth bonding is the ideal answer for your dental needs. In deciding whether or not tooth bonding is right for you, it's important to become familiar with the Olivette, MO tooth bonding procedure.

The tooth bonding procedure is a simple visit to your Olivette, MO dental office. You will be in and out in a matter of minutes. In most cases, no anesthesia is necessary.

The first step is to determine the exact resin color to use. Your dentist will match samples and use a chart to make sure that the resin blends in naturally with the color of your natural teeth.

Next, your dentist prepares the surface of the tooth or teeth being treating in the tooth bonding procedure. To ensure that the resin effectively attaches to your existing tooth, they must roughen the surface where it will be attached, similar to the principle sculptors use, scoring individual pieces of pottery before sticking them together. Once the tooth's surface is prepared, you dentist will also apply a liquid bonding agent to help the resin attach.

Then your dentist will apply the resin to your tooth. At this point in the tooth bonding procedure, the resin is maliable - a putty substance. The viscous material allows your dentist to carefully shape and mold the resin to the desired shape to take on the appearance of a natural tooth.

Lastly, the resin is cured and set using UV light. The UV light hardens the resin into a hard, tooth-like consistency. Your dentist is still able to make alterations to the shape and size after the resin hardens. This is the perfect time for additional finishing touches such as minor adjustments to the shape and polishing to add a shine.

If you didn't know before, now you do: your Olivette, MO tooth bonding procedure is simple and painless. Your office visit can be done in under an hour and usually takens even less time. The length of time increases, however, if you are having multiple teeth treated with tooth bonding. In this case, one option is to schedule a couple of separate sittings to avoid a lengthy visit.
